Shrink Film Packaging

Shrink film packaging works by applying heat (usually with a heat gun or shrink tunnel) to shrink wrap for packaging. As the shrinkage film is heated, it contracts tightly around the product or pallet, creating a protective layer. The result is packaging that looks neat, prevents movement, and protects the contents from environmental factors during shipping and storage.

Shrink film packaging offers several key advantages: it creates a neat, professional finish; holds products firmly in place; provides protection from dust, dirt, and moisture; and offers tamper-evidence for sensitive or high-value items. It’s an efficient way to pack both individual products and bulk items, helping businesses maintain product integrity and presentation.

Heat shrink packaging is used to tightly wrap and protect products by applying heat to a special shrinkable film. The heat causes the film to shrink around the product, creating a secure and professional finish. It's widely used for bundling retail products, stabilising pallet loads, protecting items from dust or moisture, and providing tamper-evident packaging.

Shrinkage film is heated to shrink tightly around a product, forming a fitted protective layer. Stretch wrap, by contrast, is manually stretched around a pallet or product and clings to itself to hold the load. Shrink wrap for packaging is ideal when you need a tighter, more finished presentation or added protection against the elements.
